Meredith Baxter and Nancy Locke

Meredith Baxter, widely recognized for her role as Elyse Keaton in Family Ties, wed her longtime partner, Nancy Locke, in December 2013. Locke is a general contractor whom the actress has lived with since 2005. Since exchanging their “I do’s”, the couple has remained strong together despite the many challenges they faced, including Baxter’s coming out as a lesbian on television. Following her revelation, the actress became bold enough to voice out other issues concerning her personal life. Through it all, Locke backed her up and had been her source of solid support.

Aside from Family Ties, Baxter has also made investments in the world of cinema, having starred in Undateable John, Airline Disaster, and Reading Writing and Romance. At her career’s peak, she appeared in television commercials, co-hosted talk shows, and created a skincare line. She also published a memoir entitled Untied.
